Initial Assembly

1. Screw the barrel (#23) hand tight into the Main Body (#34).

2. Screw the Velocity Adjuster (#12) into the Hammer Plug (#24) approximately two

complete turns.

3. Place a Barrel Plug or Barrel cover into/on the end of the barrel. The barrel is the top

chamber of the Main Body (#34).

Battery Installation

1. Find the safety switch located on the left side of the marker just above the Left Grip

Panel (#36).

2. Make sure the switch is in the “Safety” position (toward the rear of the marker).

3. Using a screwdriver, remove the three Grip Panel Screws (20) from the left side (side

facing you if the barrel is pointing to your left) of the Grip Panel (36).

4. Install the 9-volt battery.

NOTE: We recommend the use of a strong, brand name battery, such as Duracell or

Energizer, for a longer lasting charge and better performance.

5. Push the safety switch towards the on position (toward the front end of the marker).

6. Confirm that the LED light located on the grip is lit, signifying that the battery is good

and properly installed.

7. Push the safety switch to the off position toward the rear of the marker.

8. Replace the Grip Panel using the three Grip Panel Screws, being careful not to pinch

the wires leading to the battery connector and those leading to the circuit board.

Attaching Propellant Source

1. Confirm that the Barrel Plug is properly installed and the marker is on “Safe.”

2. Cock the marker by pulling the Bolt (#28) in the rearward direction until it “clicks” into

place. This compresses the Main Spring (#2) and allows the Cupseal (#7) to properly seat.

3. Point the marker downward and in a safe direction.

4. Place a few drops of non-corrosive lubricant made specifically for use in paintball (Empire

Oil) into the Tank Adapter (#14). This will run the oil through the valve to ensure the O-

Rings stay moist and do not dry or crack. Failure to do so may cause the marker to leak.

5. Place the leading end of the propellant cylinder threads into the threaded interface of the

Tank Adapter (14).

6. Without pushing, twist the propellant cylinder in a clockwise direction and allow the cylinder

threads to “draw” it into the Tank Adapter. DO NOT force the cylinder; it could cause cross

threading, not covered by warranty.

7. Screw the propellant cylinder completely in until it is firmly seated.

Attaching Feeder/Hopper

1. Confirm that the Barrel Plug is properly installed on the marker and is on “Safe.”

2. Attach the vertical feed elbow that is provided with your marker and hand tighten the

thumb adjustment screws onto the Vertical Feed Neck (#11). DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN.

Over tightening can cause the vertical feed elbow to crack.

3. Press the neck of the Feeder/Hopper into the Vertical Feed Neck (11) until it is

completely seated.

4. Position the Feeder/Hopper so that the lid is facing the rear of the marker and the

Feeder/Hopper is parallel to the Main Body (34).

5. Tighten down the top screw on the vertical feed neck to secure the feeder/hopper

into place, again being sure not to over tighten.

Loading Paintballs

The performance of your marker is directly affected by the quality of paintballs used. We

highly recommend Diablo paintballs to give you satisfaction and success on the playing field.

1. Confirm that the Barrel Plug is properly installed and the marker in on “Safe.”

2. Point the marker in a safe direction and load paintballs in the Feeder/Hopper. If you

are using a non-motorized hopper, be sure to leave some room in the hopper for the

balls to feed properly.

De-Gassing

1. Make sure that you and anyone within range is wearing eye protection specifically

designed for paintball.

2. Set “Safety” switch to the safe position.

3. Point the marker in a safe direction.

4. If you are using a motorized feeder, turn it off.

5. Loosen the bottom screw from the vertical feed elbow.

6. Invert the marker so that the hopper/feeder is upside down and paintballs are no

longer feeding into the marker.

7. Remove the hopper/feeder from the marker.

8. Twisting the barrel in a counter-clockwise direction, remove it from the marker.

9. While now pointing the marker in a safe direction, move the “Safety” on/off switch to

the on position.

NOTE: There may still be a ball in the chamber! Make sure you are in a safe area to

fire the marker safely!

10. Pull the trigger and allow the marker to cycle to confirm the absence of paintballs in

the marker's breech. If a ball discharges, repeat until no more paintballs come out

of the marker.

WARNING: When removing the cylinder from the marker, it could fly off with enough

force to kill if the valve unscrews from the cylinder. LOOK at the valve when removing

the cylinder. STOP if the valve starts to unscrew from the tank. Screw it back on and

take it to a trained person for repair.

Chronographing

Never operate your marker without first checking the velocity and confirming that you

are firing below that required on the field of play. At no time should the marker fire

paintballs in excess of 300 feet per second. Higher velocities are not only potentially

dangerous; they often result in a substantial increase in paintballs broken in the marker.

1. Confirm that the Barrel Plug is properly installed and the marker is on “Safe.”

2. Using a 5/64 hex key (not included), make sure the Velocity Adjuster Locking Set

Screw (#12B) is backed out without removing it.

3. Make sure that you and anyone within range is wearing eye protection designed

specifically for paintball.

4. While pointing the paintball marker in a safe direction, remove the Barrel Plug and

move the safety switch to on.

5. Point the marker over the chronograph and in a safe direction.

6. Pull the trigger and observe the reading on the chronograph.

7. To increase the velocity, turn the Velocity Adjuster (#12) clockwise.

8. To decrease the velocity, turn the Velocity Adjuster (#12) counter-clockwise.

9. Once the desired velocity has been reached, use the 5/64 hex key (not included) to

turn the Velocity Adjuster (#12) Set screw in until it binds against the Hammer Plug

(#24). This will prevent the Velocity Adjuster from moving during play and is required

by most competitions and fields.

10. Re-install the Barrel Plug and place the marker on “Safe.”

11. Proceed to the playing field.

12. Keep the safety in the “Safe” position and the Barrel Plug in place until ready to play.

Icon-E-Manual-Insert.qxd 12/29/04 3:58 PM Page 6

12. While putting slight pressure on the rear of the bolt, pull the trigger (this depresses

the Sear and allows the Bolt/Hammer assembly to travel forward).

13. Push the “Safety” to the OFF position and the LED on the circuit board should shut off.

14. Return the Main Spring, Recoil Pad, and Spring Strut to their proper position follow-

ing the schematic on Page (5).

15. Place the Hammer Plug into the rear of the Main Body with the longest portion of

the Main Spring / Spring Strut.

16. Push the Hammer Plug in and replace the Quick Strip Pin.

Storage

Always turn off the marker and remove the hopper/feeder, all paintballs and propellant

source and place it in a secure location where it cannot be accessed by unauthorized

persons.

11. Unscrew the propellant cylinder approximately one complete revolution.

12. Pull the trigger until the marker fails to re-cock (if this takes more than 10 shots,

unscrew the cylinder an additional turn and repeat).

13. Remove (See Warning Above) the propellant cylinder.

Maintenance

WARNING: All maintenance should be performed with an unloaded and degassed

marker ONLY.

Bolt and Hammer

1. De-gas the marker according to previous directions.

2. Always perform maintenance over a smooth, clean work surface. This will help

prevent the accidental loss of small parts.

3. Make sure the bolt is in the forward position before proceeding.

4. Remove the Quick Strip Pin (#5).

5. Remove the Hammer Plug (#24) from the rear of the Main Body.

6. Pull the Bolt (#28) from the rear. This will also remove the Spring Strut (#4), Main

Spring (#2), Recoil Pad (#3), and Hammer (#1).

7. Clean the Bolt thoroughly; this includes rinsing in warm water if needed. Be sure to

dry all parts well before the next step.

8. Lubricate the Bolt and Hammer with non-corrosive lubricant such as Empire Lube or

Empire Oil.

9. While pointing the marker downward, place the Bolt's Connecting Pin (#28A) into the

hole on top of the Hammer. Guide this assembly in to the rear of the Main Body.

10. The Striker will likely stop when it makes contact with the top of the Sear (#37).

11. Push the “Safety” to the on position; this should light the LED on the circuit board to

signify it is on.
